The spell checker doesn't detect every input field (for instance, many search boxes I tested it didn't get spell-checked), but whenever Camino detects a misspelled word it will underline it and right-clicking reveals a drop-down menu of possible corrections. + +Version 1.5 also adds support for auto detecting RSS feeds, which are displayed in the toolbar à la Firefox 2, clicking the icon will load the feed into your default news reader. + +Camino also now supports session recover even on crashing, so you can always restore your previous tabs and windows. + +The browser has also gained an improved "annoyance" blocking system. Camino has always been able to block ads and pop-ups but it now features an improved engine and the ability to block Flash movies (provided you enable Javascript). + +Although the new features bring Camino closer to being a full fledged Firefox replacement, regrettably Camino still doesn't (and likely never will) support Firefox's add-on architecture. + +For many users this won't matter, but those of addicted to our add-ons can still dream, because on nearly every other level Camino blows Firefox 2 for Mac out of the water (and note that there are some "add-ons" available for Camino, though nowhere near the number for Firefox 2). + +Still, if you're looking for a speedier alternative to Firefox or Safari, Camino 1.5 is your browser. + +[1]: http://www.caminobrowser.org/ "Camino"
